Ueberroth says U.S. did not violate charter
Soviets charge U.S. with reserving right to deny athletes’ visas
By John Kirby
Qty Writer
Peter Ueberroth, president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, said Monday at a press conference at the Downtown Hilton that the LAOOC knows of no violations of the International Olympic charter by the United States.
Ueberroth called the press conference to answer charges from the Soviet news agency', Tass, that the United States violated the charter by reserving the right to deny visas to Soviet athletes.
Under the terms of the Olympic charter, all athletes and other members of competing Olympic teams are admitted to the host country without having to apply for visas.
Ueberroth said the LAOOC has received nothing from the Soviet Union concerning the matter.
"We can find no violation of the Olympic charter by the LAOOC or any government agency," he said.
The Soviet Union has asked for an emergency meeting of the International Olympic Committee to address the matter.
Ueberroth said an emergency meeting was not necessary and questioned the ability of the Soviets to organize the support needed for such a meeting.
Advance notice of at least 30 days and a request by more than 50 percent of the IOC members is required for an emergency meeting to be called.
An executive meeting of the IOC is already scheduled for May 26 in Switzerland.
Ueberroth said the Soviet Union has been asked to relay its complaints directly to the IOC and the LAOOC.
There is some concern within the Soviet Union that the needs of its athletes will be denied by the United States in an attempt to hamper their performance, Ueberroth said.
He pledged that the athletes of all the participating countries will be treated impartially.
The specific complaint was the result of a week-long series of meetings between the Olympic committees of the various Eastern Bloc countries, Ueberroth said.
He speculated that the current allegations of the United States' misconduct may have been caused by a communique between the United States' embassy in Moscow and the Foreign Office of the Soviet Union.
In that communique, which Ueberroth said he hadn't seen in total, the word visa (Continued on page 6)
Attorney general presents law award to graduate student

John Van de Kamp, attorney general for the state of California, presented the first Miller-Johnson Equal Justice Award to third-year law student Linda Starr in a ceremony Monday at Crocker Plaza in the Law Center.
The award, which Van de Kamp said stands for equal rights and social justice, was given to Starr for her efforts in bringing the 15th annual conference of Women in the Law to Los Angeles and serv ing as chief spokeswoman for the university at that event.
In addition, Starr was credited with helping to get a political and civil rights course placed into the law curriculum and for arranging a series of conferences for women.
"I am very grateful . . . that USC has chosen to create such an award," Van de Kamp said to the group of law students and faculty assembled on the lawn in Crocker Plaza. "I hope your work here will become a life-long effort of public service."
Van de Kamp introduced himself by clarifying that he is not the attorney general of the United States, and that he has no relationship with President Reagan.
"1 am a liberal, middle-of-the-road, conservative Democrat who likes to look at himself as a crime-fighter," he said.
Van de Kamp went on to describe the accomplishments of Loren Miller and Justice Earl Johnson, the two men after whom the award is named. Van de Kamp is a close friend of Johnson's, and thus presented the award at the ceremony.
Miller, bom the son of a slave, dedicated his life to the fight for equal justice, battling as a Los Angeles lawyer in the early 1930s against restrictive racial covenants in housing developments. Van de Kamp said.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Miller was the West Coast counsel for the NAACP's Legal Defense Educational Fund and was also publisher of the California Eagle, the oldest black paper in the West.
In 1966, Miller wrote the book "The Petitioners," a detailed history of the Supreme Court's treatment of blacks from the 18th century through the mid-1960s.
Johnson, a former professor at the Law Center and now a justice on the California Court of Appeals, was the first recipient of the Loren Miller Award, which was presented in 1977. When Johnson left the university for the court, he turned the award back to the Law Center, thus creating the Miller-Johnson Award.
Van de Kamp highlighted Johnson's achievements, which included significant work during the 1960s in the War on Poverty program.
During his career, Johnson, who joined the Law Center faculty in 1969, has served as director of the National Legal Services Program, president of the Board of the Western Center on Law and Poverty,

Dance department dedicated to development, director says

In Flashdance. Footloose and Stayin' Alive, our heros are dedicated to dance. At this university there are 800 students who've just gotta dance — they're enrolled in dance classes.
But the School of Performing Arts this is not. Divide the 800 by 100 and you've got the number of dance majors going for the fame.
Eight majors, three graduate students, one full-time faculty member, five part-time instructors and four teaching assistants make up the dance department.
First introduced in 1919 at the University of Wisconsin, dance as a major has since grown in popularity with approximately 60 colleges offering the major in the 1950s to the 218 colleges offering the major in 1979.
The program began here in the 1950s and is a part of the physical education department. Though it has varied some, the department has always been one of the smaller ones on campus. This is due primarily to the frequent turnover of
directors and to the consequent lack of continuity.
One reason for this turnover is that directors have been unable to properly implement changes and take advantage of the program's potential. Another reason is the need for an additional full-time faculty member.
Mary Lilygren, director of the dance department and the full-time faculty member, pointed out that the smallness of the department has positive as well as negative connotations.
"Being in a small department the instructors are always around the building. We're available to stay after classes to answer questions and go over steps," she said.
Yet, Lilygren, who performed with the Variety Arts Theater and with Sesame Street Live before taking on the directorship last year, sees room for extensive changes.
"We're trying to upgrade our program to bring it up to standards of other programs in the nation (such as those at Wisconsin, NYU, UC Irvine, Ohio and UCLA)/' she said. "We have a

Retrial set for accused murderer

Russell Glasgal, the former university student charged with bludgeoning his wealthy parents to death, will be retried June 4, San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Frank Piombo reported Monday to the Associated Press.
His first trial, held in Redwood City, ended in a mistrial when the jury deliberated for four days before announcing Wednesday that they were hopelessly deadlocked.
The jury ruled seven against and five for acquitting Glasgal, said Sgt. Lee Violett of the San Mateo Police Department. Violett said he could not disclose
any details about the cause of the mistrial.
"It's an extremely complicated case," he said. "Over 150 witnesses were called in. The jury was confused about many areas of the case."
Glasgal, 23, who studied business and public administration at the university for three years, was arrested Sept. 19 for the murders of Robert Glasgal, 55, a prominent orthodonist, and his 45-year-old wife, Sondra.
Their bodies were discovered in their San Mateo home on Sept. 16, by another son Steven,
17.
Police officials said the orthodontist was found clad in a
bathrobe, sitting upright in a living room chair. His head had been battered by a blunt instrument, officials said. His wife was found sitting on the bathroom floor, her skull crushed. Police arrested Glasgal three days later in the parking lot of a South Lake Tahoe motel.
Robert Bishop, San Mateo County’s chief deputy district attorney, told the Associated Press that Glasgal, who would have inherited a share of his parents' $1 million estate, allegedly killed them in revenge for restrictions placed on him after he returned home in the w'ake of a business failure and an attempted suicide.
